Definitions

  • This invention refers to a piezoelectric speaker which generates sound by vibrating a diaphragm using one or more piezoelectric driver(s).
  • a conventional piezoelectric speaker 1 of this type has a piezoelectric driver 3 integrally molded in a resin foam plate 2.
  • 4 is a lead.
  • the vibration of the piezoelectric driver 3 is restricted by the resin foam plate 2 in the vicinity thereof. Accordingly, the piezoelectric speaker 1 has low efficiency as a sounding body, resulting in a low sound pressure level.
  • the subject invention has an object of offering a piezoelectric speaker having a high sound pressure level by solving the above problem.
  • Another object of this invention is to offer a piezoelectric speaker having an improved frequency characteristic.
  • a piezoelectric speaker which generates sound by vibrating a diaphragm using a piezoelectric driver, comprising a piezoelectric driver that is vibrated in bending mode by piezoelectric effect; a diaphragm, formed by assembling two opposed plane resin foam plates, each having a recess, wherein the pair of recesses make a space, which is to accommodate the piezoelectric driver and which is essentially bigger than the piezoelectric driver; a piezoelectric driver supporting means for supporting the substantial center of the piezoelectric driver accommodated in the above space; and a frame for supporting the diaphragm without restricting its vibration.
  • a piezoelectric speaker which generates sound by vibrating a diaphragm using multiple piezoelectric drivers, comprising multiple piezoelectric drivers that are vibrated in bending mode by piezoelectric effect; a diaphragm, formed by assembling two opposed plane resin foam plates, each having multiple recesses, wherein the pairs of recesses make spaces, which are to respectively accommodate the multiple piezoelectric drivers and which are essentially bigger than their respective piezoelectric drivers; piezoelectric driver supporting means for supporting the substantial centers of piezoelectric drivers respectively accommodated in the above spaces; and a frame for supporting the diaphragm without restricting its vibration.
  • the two resin foam plates forming the diaphragm may have different sizes, and a margin of the bigger resin foam plate extending out over the smaller resin foam plate may be fixed on the frame through an elastic supporting member.
  • the piezoelectric driver supporting means may be a projecting member provided on the recess bottom of one of the resin foam plates.
  • the piezoelectric driver supporting means may be two opposed projecting members, which are respectively provided on the recess bottoms of the two resin foam plates and which interpose and support the piezoelectric driver when the two resin foam plates are assembled.
  • the projecting member may be integrally formed on the resin foam plate.
  • the projecting members may be integrally formed on their respective resin foam plates.
  • Each of the two resin foam plate may have a uniform density.
  • Each of the two resin foam plates may have a higher density at the thin portion neighboring the recess than at the remaining thick portion.
  • Resin sheets may be pasted on the whole main outer surfaces of the two resin foam plates.
  • the two resin foam plates forming the diaphragm are vibrated by driving the piezoelectric driver, whereby sound is emitted from both main surfaces of the diaphragm.
  • a thin poster may be pasted on the whole main outer surface of the resin foam plate.
  • the piezoelectric driver is contained in the space of the diaphragm without being contacted with anything except its portions which are supported by the piezoelectric driver supporting means. Consequently, the resin foam plates do not restrict the vibration of the piezoelectric driver, which provides the piezoelectric speaker with improved efficiency as a sounding body and accordingly with a high sound pressure level.
  • the diaphragm can mostly fill up the space surrounded by the inner wall of the frame. As a result, the surface of the diaphragm is enlarged, which provides the piezoelectric speaker with a high sound pressure level.
  • each of the two resin foam plates has a higher density at the thin portion neighboring the recess than at the remaining thick portion, the thin portion is strong and rigid enough to convey the vibration of the piezoelectric driver to the whole resin foam plate.
  • This construction maintains the sound pressure level - frequency curve flat, so as to improve the frequency characteristic.
  • the thin portion is too weak and flexible to convey the vibration of the piezoelectric driver to the whole resin foam plate, the diaphragm is locally vibrated and the sound pressure level - frequency curve greatly fluctuates.

  • the edge 23 is a square plate having a smaller square cutout at the center thereof as shown in FIG. 3 and is formed of such an elastic material as urethane foam, rubber or leather.
  • the piezoelectric driver 21 is of the bimorph type, which has two piezoelectric plates 21a and 21b, made of PZT or the like, interposing a metal plate 21c.

  • polystylene foam polyethylene foam, a copolymer of the two, or the like may be employed.
  • the projecting members 25b and 26b are cylindrical in this embodiment and are adhered on the piezoelectric driver 21. They may have another shape, for instance, a cone.
  • the resin foam plates 25 and 26 may be adhered with each other at their contacting plane 27 to seal the inner space, or they may be just contacted.
  • the piezoelectric driver 21 is contained in the space of the diaphragm 22 without being contacted with anything except its portions supported by the projecting members 25b and 26b. Therefore, its vibration is not restricted by the resin foam plates 25 and 26. In consequence, this piezoelectric speaker has improved efficiency as a sounding body and accordingly has a high sound pressure level.

  • the projecting member 30 is bonded on the piezoelectric driver 21 and on the resin foam plate 26 with an adhesive, and is formed of a rigid and light material such as resin foam.
  • the projecting member 30 may be integrally formed on the resin foam plate 26 though it is not shown here.
  • the projecting members 25b and 26b om FIG. 4 may be independent from the resin foam plates 25 and 26 though it is not shown here, either.
